Oh no, not again! What kind of dark forces drive this middle aged woman to attempt to kill her own mother. Yes, think about it, her own mummy.
I’ve said it before and I’ve said it again, we need far better social services in this country to help protect the vulnerable and those who are struggling or unable to care for their family members.

Another heat induced crime? Summer has barely begun.

Why the blank stock photo of a cop car? There were no photos of a 島根県警 squad car on Etsy?

Steve...unless you've "been there " it IS hard to understand the motivation.
My Mi L has basically kidnapped her daughter, my wife, such that we now live separately.
It's not that Mi L is a nasty women, but in Japan, less in the west, parents have this sense of entitlement that someone in the family will completely rearrange their lives to accommodate and "look after " them in their old age.
And the 2 elder sons, quite well off, in their 60s, do diddley squat.
My anger will be directed to them if they make the mistake of visiting.
Parents, provide for your later years with saving a little and dont burden your adult children...
and yeah...I'm pretty miserable at my current situation.
